Logging in

1. Type your login number on the number pad, then tap Sign in. While the handheld gets ready the button shows Logging In, Updating Cache and Checking Clock - this only takes a few seconds.

   

Note: Logout at the top right of the home screen only logs you out - you stay on the clock. Log out when you hand the handheld to someone else.

 

Clocking in

1. On the home screen, under Station Settings, the clock row says Off the Clock. Tap Clock In.

   

    

2. If you work more than one job role, pick the one you're working today.

    

3. You're on the clock: the row now says On Since and the time you clocked in, and Orders shows at the bottom so you can start taking orders.

   

 

Taking a break

Start Break shows under the clock row only when breaks are set up for your job role.

1. Tap Start Break.

   

    

2. Tap the break you're taking. The handheld logs you out until you come back.

   

    

3. When you're back, log in. The handheld asks if you want to end your break - tap Yes. (No keeps you on your break and logs you out again.)

   

 

Clocking out

1. On the home screen, tap Clock Out on the On Since row.

   

    

2. If the handheld asks about the breaks you were due, answer each one and tap Done:

   • Taken: you took the break.
   • Waive: you chose not to take it.

   Your answers go on your time card.

   

    

3. You're clocked out, and the handheld goes back to the login screen.

Note: If it says "You must run a server close before clocking out", close out your tables, then do a server close: tap More at the bottom, then Tools, then Server Close. Then clock out again.
